1. AN APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING A SPECIMEN BASED ON ITS SIMILARITY TO A MEMBER OF A SET OF REFERENCES COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION: MEANS FOR COMPARING THE SPECIMEN WITH A NON-ADAPTIVELY STORED SET OF REFERENCES AND WITH AN ADAPTIVELY STORED SET OF REFERENCES; MEANS FOR GENERATING AN INDICATION OF THE IDENTITY OF THE REFERENCE THAT IS MOST SIMILAR TO THE SPECIMEN; AND MEANS FOR ALTERING THE INDICATED ADAPTIVELY STORED REFERENCE SUCH THAT IT IS MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE SPECIMEN WHEN THE SPECIMEN IS DIFFERENT THAN THIS ADAPTIVELY STORED REFERENCE.
